Its my eldest boys 6th birthday tomorrow. I've just been wrapping his pressies and having lots of melancholy thoughts about how time has flown. His Dads out of the country on business (as ever) so I guess I'm missing him particularly this week. To those of you who have tiny ones or are about...

Does anyone actually have their own salon (not at home) where its just them running the show. I'm thinking about the future and wondering if this is actually possible. What happends if you are with a client and someone else walks in, wants to buy something etc etc. I cant imagine being...

Did any one get a copy? Has anyone tried to book a course with them recently? Just wondering how others are feeling about the new system and whether they are happy? I'm still having a few probs.

Coming up for geegs seminar on monday and would like to stay overnight on the sunday. I've been looking at booking somewhere near the train station and then getting a taxi to the OSNS on monday morning. Can you suggest somewhere nice for me to stay? - been looking at Park Plaza Hotel ...

I dont do many full sets - maybe one a week. I get myself all worked up before they come and then when theyve left I think about all the things I could have done better and worry that they'll break one straight away. It takes about 24hrs for me to calm down and stop worrying. I just had a...

Had a lady stop me outside the school today showing me her nails and asking if they could be enhanced even though her nail beds are tiny. She had the hands and nails of a 10 year old, a very petite lady all over. I'm sure I could do them after all they were no smaller than the beds on a nail...

Not a nice subject but I have 2 unfortunate friends (one is a client) who have a big problem with this. One is a 30 something and the other in her mid 40's. I havent mentioned it to them but I'd like to find out what they can do about it so that maybe I could slip it into conversation gently...

I've had a terrible 6 months and most recently a nasty virus which really knocked me for 6 and I'm still recovering. All that together with chronic hayfever, feeling generally stressed and premenstrual has left me with terrible spots on my chin and skin which is dull, pot marked and generally...

I'd love to sing the praises of the product training but its a big dissapointment for me. About 6 months ago I sent an email to Graftons and got no reply. I also sent another tipping them off about an ebayer selling their courses to which I got no reply. I've left 2 voice messages for my...

Couldnt do the pic as an attachment (if anyone knows how I'd be grateful!) but I've put my first pic in the main galery for your appraisal. Hit me with it, I can take it!!!

I love doing nails and building my small empire but I love my hubby and my two boys as well (6 & 3 yrs). Since having my first child I havent gone back to full time work, instead I took some time out and eventually trained in nails which is where I am today. I do feel fortunate to have been...

I know its ages away yet but I wondered if anyone else was. I've never taken part in any kind of competition before so I thought I might enter this year.

If anyone knows how to get hold of Lisa to tell her, I'd be really grateful.. I dont have any email address, website details or tel no for her.

I've got a client whos spotted an old issue of Scratch in my nail room and wants something similar. It was a pic of toes in shiny black polish with the big toe encrusted with bullion and stones which swept up the foot onto the skin. She wants something similar on her finger nails/hand...

Having found the perfect premises for my salon, and produced a business plan, I discover how hard it will be to make ends meet let alone a profit. I've got a fair bit of room which could potentially be spilt up into treatment rooms and I'd like to opportunity to let some space to another...

Took the day off today and took my shopping list to the OSNS in Acton. Have always ordered via my secondary account using the catalogue before now but this time I had loads of enamel to get and I much prefer to do this up close. Previously I'd only bought enamel at shows but I wanted to bite...

Its been a long hard road for me (a thirty something with 2 kids) to take time out to train, practice, do coursework, collect a portfolio and take assessments. Finally after 10 months I have passed my NVQ 2 & 3 and boy what a relief! Feels great to acheive a goal - not something I'm very...

Been considering buying this system now I've done a basic warm waxing course. I did a search and I can see that a few of you either bought or were using this as far back as last summer. Just wondered how you were all getting on with them. I saw (Dee said this I think) it can be squeezed...

I've done a search and cant find anything....... I always have problems with white tips of any sort. After a few hours they develop fractures, tiny hairline cracks just over the tip area and if I leave them, the gel buckles and comes away at the sides. Hadnt used a white tip for ages so I...
